January Haul + Shopping



Above is what I purchased in the month of January, which includes this pretty Layered Pleated Skirt from Banana Republic.

Blazer: H&M (old but similar here). Tank: H&M Jersey Tank. Skirt: Banana Republic Layered Pleated Skirt in 00P. 
I absolutely love how comfy and stylish the Sam Edelman Wilson booties look so got them in both Black and Saddle Suede. I also picked up a Textured Fit & Flare Sweater Dress from American Eagle Outfitters that I found while shopping in Las Vegas a few weeks ago and a few long-sleeved girls tees that I picked up in Old Navy. I went in store, which I rarely do, to make a return, and ended up buying a large amount of long sleeve tees and baby clothes since they were all either $0.97 or $1.97, which I thought was a crazy good price!

1/3 of what I purchased!
My sister confirmed it so I picked up almost every single shirt I could find on sale for my nieces and also a few for baby A and me to match - I can't resist mommy and me clothes! The register lady probably thought I was crazy because I ended up seeing her 3x because I kept finding more stuff to get!

Trying them on for my sister's reference. These were a bit snug on me and are girl's size L (10/12). Other ones that I purchased and are shown online are here, here, and here. Skirt: Banana Republic Layered Pleated Skirt in 00P. Booties: Nine West (similar here).
Note that these shirts are all $6-8 online but are just $0.97-$1.97 in store, though I'm not sure if it's only the store I went to in NYC.

I also went to Uniqlo to make a return and ended up buying and then returning a cute olive green bomber jacket, which I've noticed is really trending right now. I initially wanted it to match with A but he didn't want it so back both went.

Here I am wearing a Men's MA-1 Bomber Jacket in size S back to work so I won't have to carry it. I'm also wearing the scarf from this haul here and also here below with my love:

February Haul + Breakfast Bagel Strata Recipe

Image
The very last item I picked up from H&M that broke the buy and return cycle was a $2 striped tee that I thought would be a nice basic to have - I can't wait until the day I can have a bigger closet so I can actually see all the pieces I own - I might end up finding a few more basic stripes tees but when I picked it up, I didn't think I had one. :) I was browsing Insta Stories and came across some cute Target finds so made a large purchase at 3AM when I was up from baby B: Left: Denim Trucker Jacket in XS Light Acid Wash . Right: Button-Front Quilted Jacket in XS Blue. Left to right: Fleece Sweatshirt in XS Gold , Who What Wear Polka Dot Crewneck Balloon Sleeve Sweater in XS Brown , Who What Wear Balloon Long Sleeve Top in XS Off White & Who What Wear High-Rise Paperbag Pants in XS Here's a great recipe for a breakfast strata that can be made in advance and then popped in the oven the morning of: BREAKFAST BAGEL STRATA from Parents magazine April 2017 Active Time: 3

Hermes Toolbox 20 Review!

Image
A long time ago, I used to covet the Hermes Birkin bag, as I'm sure many have since it's so elusive. Since then, I switched over to pine after the Hermes Kelly bag instead, after I saw it on Wendy Nguyen from Wendy's Lookbook here . She's a fellow petite and it just looked so nice on her! Over time though, and especially after baby A, I see how such a bag is definitely not practical for me and if I were to spend a small fortune on a bag, I'd want one that I would actually use more often. The Kelly has a thin strap and is quite structured, which is what I like about it, but in reality is too classy for my weekends. It wasn't until I went to Athens, posted about here , that I tried on the Hermes Toolbox 20 and fell for it. It was in a beautiful royal blue color but I already have a Celine in that same color (seen here ) but that bright color and how it hung on me were the reasons I really liked it so much. I realized I wouldn't love the bag in a beige or deep

Canada Goose: Fusion Fit Reviews

Image
I'm finally done with exhausting all the options of Canada Goose coats and have to say that the Fusion Fit is definitely made to perfectly fit petites. Out of the three that I tried on, the Rossclair , Shelburne , and Trillium , they all have the perfect sleeve length but the hoods are all still too big in proportion and cover my whole face when worn. The Canada Goose Rossclair Parka Fusion Fit definitely fits much better than the normal Rossclair as shown here . I still like this Military Green color the best along with Black and like these large buttons better than the small loop ones on the Kensington but still prefer the ease of snap buttons to these. Canada Goose Shelburne Parka Fusion Fit in XXS Graphite The Canada Goose Shelburne Parka Fusion Fit is the only one of the three that does not have an adjustable bungee cord at the inner waist so the shape of this one is much more boxy. The sleeves of this one are also a bit longer than the others, though still much be
